1. Suite-Pee


I had an out of body experience,
the other day, her name was jesus, and for her
everyone cried, everyone cried, everyone cried.
Try her philosophy, try her philosophy, try her
philosophy, try.
You die for her philosophy, die for her philosophy, die her philosophy die.
Crossed and terrored ravages of architecture, lend me thy blades, weīre crossed and terrored ravages of
architecture, hoist around the spade.
Try her philosophy, try her philosophy, try her philosophy, try.
You die for her philosophy, die for her philosophy, die her philosophy die.
Die....die....die....why....lie naked on the floor and
let the messiah go through our souls,
lie naked on the floor and let the messiah go all
through our souls, die, like a motherfucker,die,
like a motherfucker, die, like a motherfucker, why, like a motherfucker, why, like a motherfucker,
i want to fuck my way to the garden, cause everyone needs a mother, fucker!
Try her philosophy, try her philosophy, try her philosophy, try. You die for her philosophy, die for her philosophy,
die her philosophy die. The following of a christ,
the following of a christ, the following of a christ,
the following of a christ, the falling of christ,
the falling of christ, the falling of christ,
the falling of christ.



2. Know


Cursed Earth, Cursed Earth, Cursed Earth, Cursed Earth.
I will never feed off the evergreen luster of your heart
all because we all live in the valley of the walls when
we speak we can peek from the windows of their mouths
to see the land the women chant as they fly up the to sun.
You never think you know why.
Know, You never think you know why.
Know, You never think you know why.
Know, Ever think you know why,
Know.
Books all say different things while people flap their
yellow wings trying to soar by being a whore of life
and almost everything the sheep that ran off from
the heard may be dead but nowīs a bird able to fly
able to die able to fuck your motherīs earth
You never think you know why
Know, You never think you know why,
Know, You never think you know why,
Know, Ever think you know why,
Know.
On the other side, on the other side, the other side,
Do you ever try to fly, Do you ever try to fly?
Have you ever wanted to die, Have you ever wanted to die?
Donīt ever try to fly, donīt ever try to fly,
donīt ever try to fly, unless you leave your body on the other side,
Never try to die, you ever try to die,
Know, You never think you know why,
Know, You never think you know why,
Know, You never think you know why,
Know, Ever think you know why,
Know.

4. Suggestions


Watching,
From a post up high,
From where you see the ships afar,
From a well trained eye,
The waves all keep on crashing by,
If you are the light post,
Then you own the working class,
But if you want the answers,
You better give a piece of ass,
Give a piece of your ass,
Warning,
Post hypnotic suggestions,
Running the ships ashore,
The orange light that follows,
Will foon proclaim itself a god,
If you point your questions,
The fog will surely chew you up,
But if you want the answers,
You better get ready for the fire,
Get ready for the fire,
The ships are multiplying day after day sir,
And theyīre coming closer to the shore sir, shore sir,
We need to evacuate the light post,
Itīs all over, itīs all over
Itīs all ove



5. Spiders


The piercing radient moon,
The storming of poor June,
All the life running through her hair,
Approaching guiding light,
Our shallow years in fright,
Dreams are made winding through my head,
Through my head,
Before you know, Awake,
Your lives are open wide,
The V-chip gives them sight,
All the life running through her hair,
the spiders all in tune,
The evening of the moon,
Dreams are made winding through my head,
Through my head,
Before you know, Awake
Through my head, Through my head
Before you know,
Before you know I will be waiting all awake,
Dreams are made winding through her hair,
Dreams are made winding through her hair.



6. DDevil


Plagerized existence exist,
Among the writers of the world,
Shake your spear at Shakespeare,
Shake your spear at Shakespeare,
Loud and noisy,
Strong refrigerators,
Gaining independence,
Gaining independence,
Stupid people do stupid things,
Smart people outsmart each other,
Then themselves, then themselves,
Then themselves, then themselves,
Take me down there,
Photographic relapse,
People feeding frenzy,
The devil is so lovely,
My blue moon rivets in exits,
Forewarned customary spirits,
By myself, by myself,
By myself, by myself,
Take me down there,
Photographic relapse,
People feeding frenzy,
The devil is so lovely,
Take me down there,
Photographic relapse,
People feeding frenzy,
The devil is so lovely.



7. Soil


The phoenix he helped create,
Out of control boy without a dad,
Shot the gun that startled my life,
While I drove him with a forty-five.
Friends for years images in red,
Blew off his own motherfuckin head,
Confidence, death, insecurity,
Men fall unrealized,
Unrealized, unrealized.
Making a decision of death,
While everyone around you pled,
Now in you fly in peace,
I hope, my friend,
A man canīt avoid what heīs meant to do,
When heīs meant to do it,
Even if he doesnīt really want to,
My memories are of fun and friendship,
Of weakness within the strength of youth,
For reasons undefined, reasons undefined,
Reasons undefined, reasons undefined.
Friends for years images in red,
Blew off his own motherfuckin head,
Confidence, death, insucurity,
Men fall unrealized,
Donīt you realize,
That evil, lives in the motherfucking skin,
Donīt you realize,
That evil, lives in the motherfucking skin,
Donīt you realize,
That evil, lives in the motherfucking skin,
Donīt you realize,
That evil, lives in the skin,
unrealized.
Donīt you, realize, evil,
Lives in the motherfucking skin,
Donīt you, realize, that evil,
Lives in the mother fucking, skin.
(screamed. WHY THE FUCK DID YOU TAKE HIM AWAY FROM US YOU MOTHERFUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!)



8. War?


Dark is the light,
The man you fight,
With all your prayers, incantations,
Running away, a trivial day,
Of judgment and deliverance,
To whom was sold, this bounty soul,
A gentile or a priest?
Who victored over, the Seljuks,
When the holy land was taken
We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens
Was it the riches, of the land
powers of bright darkness,
That lead the noble, to the East
To fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens
we must call upon our bright darkness,
Beliefs, that theyīre the bullets of the wicked,
One was written on the sword,
For you must enter a room to destroy it,
International security,
Call of the righteous man,
Needs a reason to kill man,
History teaches us so,
The reason he must attain,
Must be approved by his God,
His child, partisan brother of war,
Of war, we donīt speak anymore,
Of war, we donīt speak anymore,
Of war, we donīt speak anymore,
Of war, we donīt speak anymore,
We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens

9. Mind


Look at each other, Look at each other, Look at each other, Look at each other,
Go away, go away, go away, go away.....
Mutually, mentally molested children of a Mother,
Mutually, mentally mosested children of Sin,
The ever so popular beating that took you under,
The ever so popular beating that broke your skin.
Free thinkers are dangerous,
Blame, Hate, For Fateīs Seed.
Go away, go away, go away, go away......
Need the one you love and love the ones you need,
Need the one you love and love the ones you bleed,
Lives rearranged and lives in my range can you breath
Lives rearranged and lives in my range can you see.
Free thinkers are dangerous.
Blame, Hate, For Fateīs Seed.
Why, why, why, why,
Gonna let you motherfuckers die, gonna let you motherfuckers die, gonna let you motherfuckers die, Why.........
Look at each other, Look at each other.



10. Peephole


When your stars are baked,
Any your rivers fly,
Do you ever believe you were stuck in the, Sky,
When your castle breaks,
And your feet are dry,

Do you believe, when youīre high,
That your life is tried,
Donīt you ever get stuck in the sky,
Donīt you ever get stuck in the sky,
Donīt ever get stuck in the sky, when youīre high,
When your moon is fake,
And your mermaids cry,
Do you ever believe you were stuck in the, Sky,
When your tunnel fades,
And your guide is shy,
Do you ever believe you were stuck in the, sky,
Do you believe, when youīre high,
That your life is tried,
Donīt you ever get stuck in the sky,
Donīt you ever get stuck in the sky,
Donīt ever get stuck in the sky, when youīre high
Donīt you ever get stuck in the sky,

Donīt ever get stuck in the sky, when youīre high~

14. Marmelade


Stretching, filing
Against her skin,
Blessed are those
Who are not kin,
In sin we breathe,
In sex we tie,
Duct tape her legs,
To the red sky,
Foolsome flesh allowances,
The pansies raided the pantry of
Gabardine dreams, permiscuous,
Delight, deny not the flavor,

Custard dreams,
Abusing, musing,
Marmelaid flesh,
Naked spread am I,

A day canīt be total waste if
Iīm totally wasted all day,
People hang on to the pictures,
People hang on to the blank walls,
Actors of the tragic fanthom,
Extend your legs for great Saturn,
Brown table tops scream for cover
At the sight of your new lover,

If today I die
And canīt deny
The poison chosen
For tonight.

Borrowed keys,
Hollowed reveries,
Metal pillows,
Pewter yellows,
Furry roadkill,
House on the hill,
Pouring gravy
On her thighs still,

If today I die
And canīt deny
The poison chosen
For tonight.

I sit, in my desolate room, no lights, no music,

Iīm away forever, Iīm feeling better.
How do I feel, What do I say,
Fuck you, it all goes away,

Fuck you, it all goes away,
How do I feel, What do I say,
In the end it all goes away,
